I have been in multiple matches tonight with multiple ECM equiped mechs being on one team and none on the other. While it is fantastic to have 2 ECM equipped mechs in my lance it is fantastic. I'm sure the enemy lance if cussing.

Or they're figuring out how to take those two mechs out, or position in such a way they can defend without using radar.
*blink*
LRMS stick back until the end game, and or position so that they rarely fall in range. Keep the lights with lrm support and if it is an ecm raven or commando, make sure your lights work together for that first target (lights and mediums ultimately).
Btw, quantitatively... how much is multiple?

I was about to search or open a post on this myself.
I do believe that it will me necessary for the MM to consider ECM in the processing of making up teams. The team with 2+ ECM on their side consistently win.
As well, if they added more mechs with ECM capabilities, that would make the 1-4 mechs that can have it not have to be in everybody's inventory.
Consider allowing ECM for Hero and Founders mechs. Just a thought.

Bump this since I don't want to make a new thread.
As for numbers, last night the enemy team had atleast 2 (Raven+Atlas) if not 3 ECM, while we had none.
This is just ********. With a premade, you might have a chance to counter them, but not with 8 randoms.

ECM is fine, according to the devs, so there would be no reason the balance matchmaking around it. 
Honestly, I would prefer to see ECM properly balanced, however if they refuse to do that, then they need to give more chassis, if not all, the capacity to carry ECM.

If every mech could equip ECM, then they all would... I think that's an indication of the problem, there's no trade-off. Maybe if it was bigger/weighed more (or split into several devices which would do the same thing).
